EL-B is without question one of the most influential producers in the UK Garage / 2-step genre. He is widely recognized as one of the few pioneers of darker sounds, which set the foundation for the birth of dubstep. Ask most younger producers in the bass game and they will mention El-B as a major influence. Tempa Records, dubstep's legendary label, recognized his huge contribution to the dubstep movement with a compilation dedicated entirely to his work with "The Roots of El-B" in 2009.

In little over 10 years of production El-B has done crucial work that can be hold tight in sets of more contemporary releases. Starting with his work as half of Groove Chronicals, he released timeless classics like "Stone Cold", "1999", "Black Puppet". Then in the early 2000's he also released some absolute 4/4 destroyers as El-TUFF (with Tuff Jam's Karl Brown) all while pushing his label called Ghost Recordings and his GHOST duo with J Da Flex.

EL-B is a pioneer and an absolute original rude bwoy of that bass ting!
